Scientifically, it is difficult to tell how much social media can be blamed for one-off incidents. But in much the way that climate change increases the risk of extreme weather, evidence suggests that ...

A single human showing explicit bias can only ever affect a finite number of people. An algorithm, on the other hand, has the potential to impact the lives of exponentially more.

A machine learning expert predicts a new balance between human and machine intelligence is on the horizon. For that to be good news, researchers need to figure out how to design algorithms that ...

Under the right circumstances, algorithms can be more transparent than human decision-making, and even can be used to develop a more equitable society.

Large language models can be "poisoned," creating software that appears benevolent but is secretly misbehaving behind the scenes.

Designing, creating and refining algorithms - OCR Algorithms are step-by-step plans for solving problems. Algorithms can be designed using pseudocode and flow diagrams.
